About the Provider
The Deaconess Children's Enrichment Center, originally built in l990, has expanded. We are now licensed to serve nearly 200 children, but because we have so many part-time children, we will actually serve around 300 children this year. Our mission is to love and nurture children and to meet all of their developmental needs. Our staff members are progressive, have a high degree of integrity, and put the children first.
